Welcome back to the GTN Show! This week, we’re joined by triathlon expert and journalist Tim Heming to do a deep dive into the new Ironman World Championship qualification system. We answer YOUR questions about how the new age-graded performance model will work, whether it benefits certain age groups, and how it will affect your chances of getting to Kona.
Then, we catch up on all the latest pro news, including a wave of baby and injury announcements from some of the sport’s biggest names. We also recap a huge weekend of racing from Ironman 70.3 Swansea and Vitoria-Gasteiz, plus the WTCS sprint in Hamburg.
And in tech, we’re looking at the wild new time trial helmets from the Tour de France and asking if cherry juice is the secret to pro-level recovery!
